Vine's recommended Scotland links:
In a recent national survey Sevenoaks found a place in the top five as one of the wealthiest towns in the UK. Sennockians are rich in history – we have Knole and the Vine but, do we live the high-life, situated so close to the stresses of the metropolis?
When the opportunity to visit the Highlands presented itself this May, I jumped at the chance to compare life in Sevenoaks with the high-life in the Highlands. The planned ‘high-life’ tour would take me to Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, and on to Inverness, incidentally, voted fifth, on a national survey, for ‘quality of life’.
First stop on the high-life was The George Hotel, Edinburgh. The George sits in the heart of the city, on George Street known as ‘the Bond Street’ of Edinburgh and the most chic address in the city.
The Grade II listed façade welcomes you grandly in to the landmark hotel which successfully blends period charm with modern fittings. First opened in 1881, the Hotel was a Georgian conversion, from three houses in to one rather grand hotel, which today plays host to the glitterati. We were accorded a marvellous suite – The Stewart Suite – which would the following night be occupied by a famous International Rugby Player.
